Trying to run the kernel tests with the jboss-reflect snapshot and javassist implementation with security disabled results in loads of failures. A lot of these seem to be due to BeanInfo never having been tested with the Javassist implementation, and fall into the following categories:
 
* PropertyInfo.getUnderlyingAnnotation() is not working properly w/ Javassist so we get problems in jbossxb since the @XmlTransient annotation is not read
* I need to dig in properly, but it seems that when configuring Collection/Map/Array properties, the individual elements are null rather than containing the expected values
* There might be more
 
I am currently creating Javassist versions of the org.jboss.test.beaninfo.test.* tests and fixing what comes up. The first thing I found is that when creating property infos for things like
 
public class BeanInfoGenericInconsistentTypes
{
   public BeanInfoGenericClass<String> getSomething()
   {
      return null;
   }
 
   public void setSomething(BeanInfoGenericClass<Integer> x)
   {
   }
}

 
With the Javassist implementation the 'something' property gets both a getter and a setter, while with introspection it gets only a getter. The code that determines this is this in AbstractBeanInfoFactory.getBeanProperties():
 
                  TypeInfo pinfo = thisSetter.getParameterTypes()[0];
                  if (getter.getReturnType().equals(pinfo) == true)

 
The introspection implementation returns ParameterizedClassInfos containing the generic information for the parameter and return types, so it looks like I will need to implement that for javassist anyway.
